Delta Goodrem spotted hanging out with Sarah Ferguson in London

In a friendship no-one could have expected, Australian singer Delta Goodrem has been seen meeting up with a member of the British royal family in London.

Australian singer Delta Goodrem has been spotted hanging out with Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York.

The unlikely duo were photographed in central London, where they could be seen chatting with each other in the street alongside a group of friends.

Ferguson – who was married to Prince Andrew for six years until their split in 1992 – was dressed in a stylish black blazer for the outing, while Goodrem looked smart in a maroon jacket and tailored pants.

Ferguson, who is the mother of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, has maintained a close relationship with the British royal family despite divorcing Andrew in 1996.

The 64-year-old, affectionately known as ‘Fergie’, attended the royals’ Christmas Day church service at Sandringham with King Charles III and co last year, which marked her first appearance at the annual outing in more than 30 years.

Shortly after her Sandringham appearance, Ferguson took to Instagram to post a picture of herself, Beatrice and Eugenie, with a caption about feeling “grateful” in what appeared to be a subtle nod to her royal inclusion.

“We are enjoying each other’s company and feeling grateful today. I hope everyone has a wonderful day,” she wrote.

“Happy Christmas to anyone who celebrates and season’s greetings to all!”

Ferguson also attended the Easter service at Windsor Castle in March.

It’s been a turbulent few months for members of the royal family.

Headlines kicked off in January when it was revealed Ferguson had been diagnosed with skin cancer, just six months after undergoing a mastectomy to treat breast cancer.

Catherine, Princess of Wales, underwent abdominal surgery that some month, with subsequent tests revealing she had an undisclosed form of cancer, which the mother-of-three revealed in a heartbreaking video in mid-March following weeks of rampant conspiracies about her whereabouts.

Buckingham Palace announced the King had been diagnosed with an unspecified cancer in February, after the monarch underwent a routine procedure for an enlarged prostate.
